MOBLEY, , For Railroad Commissioner. i , The Railroad Commission has become an office of great importance. Recog" ni/.ing this, we nominate John Glover a Mobley, of Fairtield county, for Railroad Commissioner. He is a lawyer by education, and has been admitted to i the Bar of our state. For a number of . years he has been engaged in farming and dairy husbandry, and has done e much to improve the breeding of horses e and dairy cattle, lie isa practical farmj er, thoroughly in sympathy with the agricultural interests, manufacturing and the developement of our resources along the lines of industry, lie has been conspicious for his public spirit and untiring energy. Although a mere a boy in '70, he rendered most efficient service to the Democratic narty when radical misrule was overthrown and 0 white supremacy established. He has r always taken an active part in politics, and has ever regarded the interest of a 1 friend as his own. lie is a member of I- the military of the State, and has been _ connected with the service for many years. He is a Director of the State n Agricultural and Mechanical .Society, t and has held that position for fourteen years. He is also President of the r South Carolina Live Stock and Dairyt man's Association. In the Legislature, ,1 his ability and knowledge of the law and his fairness were well displayed; s always courteous, but determined in his e support of the right. In recognition of his worth, the legislature made him a director of the State i u-iuiviumry auuusL unanimously. lie was a candidate in the last election for Railroad Commissioner, and received a most handsome vote, being third in the race of ten candidates. At its next session the legislature re-elected him a Di8 rector of the State Penitentiary for the 3 second time by an almost unanimous vote. Captain Mobley possesses the golden art of making friends. Courte9 ous in manner, and firm in his charace ter, he would make a popular as well as most capable official. lie would study ? the problem of transportation, and do s justice without fear or favor. The splen? did vote he received in the last election ^ for Railroad Commissioner warrants * his friends in again placing his name in t nomination and respectfully submitting j his <|ualifioations and his pre-eminent fitnecs for the office to the people of the 0 State. t (J. \V.
